This blog is an off-shoot of my first blog known as Patra's Place, where I show my linen collection. I had featured a number of embroidered peacocks there, which attracted a lot of interest, so I decided it was worthwhile to transfer them all to a separate blog, along with pictures of other peacock-related items.

This is part of a table runner (or scarf as the Americans call them). The design is unfortunately too big for my scanner, but I wanted to include at least part of it here. The stitching is absolutely incredible. I think it is called Swedish Weaving - on a material similar to Huckabuck, and the stitches don't show in full on the reverse.Posted by Picasa
